Method

  1. 1 Chop the pork with fat using a knife instead of grinding it; ground pork will become sticky when steamed.
  2. 2 Marinate the meat with cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, and water, then mix thoroughly in one direction for 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Spread the meat in a flat layer 2 cm thick in a deep dish and press down to create a dent in the middle.
  4. 4 Rinse the salted fish to remove excess salt, then cut it into small pieces and sprinkle them over the meat.
  5. 5 Sprinkle plenty of shredded ginger on top; ginger helps neutralize the strong smell of salted fish.
  6. 6 Steam over high heat for 18 minutes, then drizzle with hot sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions.

    Replace step 6: Place the meat on a rack, steam under low pressure for 9 minutes, then quickly release the pressure so that the meat is cooked through to a 2 cm thick layer. Only then drizzle with hot sesame oil and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
